D&D (2024) 6/6 news scoop!: Wizards announces "6X" for 2026! Not one, but six "expressions" of tabletop roleplay! [parodia filum]

I’m not sure I get the joke, but carry on!

Over on twitter, Shellia M. mentioned the gratitude which the 6X team holds for ENWorld and its predecessor. She suggested that the impending release of 6X and its reunion of D&D, PF, and OSR (via the Legacy SRDs) might be worthy of another name change:

I’m a little uncomfortable that this joke involves attributing fake quotes to real people. Would you please edit your posts in the thread to at least use fake or parody names? Otherwise it’s a less a joke and more just misinformation. Thanks!

Can you please not post false quotes? Especially when attributing them to the game designers. I feel that is in pretty poor taste.

I laughed at first but this is starting to hit the point that I hate on 4/1

The 6X team must be following this thread (who says that WotC doesn’t listen to the aficionados?), because I just saw this twitter post:

“The 6X team wishes to clarify that there were some misspellings of names in the original news release, and that Shellia Mirabile, Raymond Wingate, Jerome Cragford, Michael Mearns, and Christoph Perrins are not affiliated with Hasbro, but are yes-men of the Wizards of the (east) Coast, d.b.a. the Columbia-Berkshire D&D Club based in Philmont, New York.

“Our Renton franchise is only nominal as yet. A clarifying note will be included in the very finest print at the bottom of the press release, by the end of the business day (Pacific Standard Time).”

that isn't better... you changed the letters a little to still make it easy to mistake for the real people...

The 6X team is firm—they said:

“You’re welcome to sue us. We hope your imagination has not been greatly harmed.

“Our Renton friends are welcome to send a letter from their lawyers.

“And Russ M. is free to shut down this or any thread at any time.”

Goodness, we received a twitter reply from Gary himself: “Don’t be a hater.”

OK, I don't think this joke is working. I'm going to close the thread.
